I chose this college out of the options available because it was near to my home and had a decent placement numbers too. CAT percentile and overall profile made a huge impact in rejection from other colleges.
IIM Bodh Gaya has a pretty simple admission process through CAP and SAP. It started with filling out a CAT form for around INR2000. It usually begins in July month. The frequency of this exam is once per year. I am a general-category student. Although the process is very smooth during interviews student need to wait for hours in meeting rooms without knowing their turn so this could be improved.

The admission process was very smooth and the admission committee helped a lot. The first step for admission at IIM is to apply for the CAT. Afterfter the result of the exam is out, the GD-PI session takes place. I got an offer through CAP and in my case, only PI happened there was no GD. My interview went well and I got shortlisted at IIM Bodh Gaya.

Students on completion of class 12, can apply for the exam. The application forms are floated online. I availed myself of the OBC Reservation where I was required to provide the certificate while joining. No improvement is required as such.
A valid CAT score is very important for admission to the MBA course and it is based on the Cutoff criteria of the CAP round. The CAP round includes the admission process for 9 IIMs. If your CAT percentile is above the specified cutoff then you will receive a mail from CAP host IIM and your WAT-PI will be scheduled. Once the PIs are done for all the candidates, the 9 IIMs will individually release their shortlists and waitlists on their respective websites for all the eligible candidates. You must constantly check their websites if you're placed in a waitlist and once you are shortlisted you need to book your seat by paying designated admission fees.
The entrance exam for the MBA course was CAT. The eligibility criteria for the exam is a bachelor's degree with a minimum of 50% marks. All the necessary information, like the application form, fees, and dates, can be found on the official CAT portal or other educational websites.

I applied for CAT 2021 and secured 96.92%ile overall. Then I gave interviews for several IIMs, including the CAP round. After the interview, I got a waitlist of 206 for IIM Bodhgaya, which got cleared on 27th June. The admission process was smooth and I faced no difficulty in any of the processes during admission time.

Final-year graduation students and graduates can apply for CAT on the respective IIM website. Fill out the form with relevant academic details and work details Appear for CAT after which you Appear for a Personal Interview.
Anyone who can get 93.26 percentile without any preparation is bound to get 97 or 98 with proper preparation. So why give away the chance easily when you can aim for a better institute? It’s best you prepare for the CAT sincerely this time and target the top B Schools in India.
However, if you are planning to sit for CAT again, you need to be certain about some things. Like you will have to tolerate tremendous pressure and a hectic schedule. You will have a non-existent social life and all your energy will be invested in preparing for CAT. Most importantly you have to remain consistent throughout your preparation. Without consistency, all your efforts will go in vain. You should also make research the colleges you are planning to target next year and study their respective admission criteria.
But if you are not confident enough to sacrifice so much just to risk a year, you can always go for IIM Bodh Gaya or Sambalpur. Both these IIMs are new but will provide the necessary means to start your career. Basically, you need to be sure of what you are expecting from your MBA degree and you will have the answer.
It is possible to pursue the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) certification in conjunction with an MBA degree from IIM Bodh Gaya, as well as other certifications such as Financial Risk Manager (FRM), Financial Modeling and Valuation Analyst (FMVA), Certified Business Continuity Analyst (CBCA), Certified Market Surveillance Analyst (CMSA), National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM), and National Stock Exchange's Certification in Financial Markets (NCFM).
Whether or not it is preferable to pursue the CFA certification alongside an MBA in Finance is a matter of personal preference. Like other IIMs, IIM Bodh Gaya has a rigorous curriculum and pedagogy. If you are able to make time outside of committee and club activities and studies and are willing to sacrifice some sleep, pursuing these certifications can greatly enhance your resume and increase your marketability in the job market. However, it is also a high-risk, high-reward decision. Even if you do not pursue these certifications, IIM Bodh Gaya will still provide you with attractive job offers if you put in the effort.
